Tensions high in Rohtak as police and paramilitary officers descend to prevent more bloodshed

Led by followers of Arya Samaj, villagers of Haryana's Karontha continued their demand for the evacuation of the land possessed by a Dera amid heavy deployment of paramilitary forces and Haryana Police personnel.

The protesters claimed that they won't budge till Rampal - the controversial head of the Dera, Satlok Ashram - winds up his operation.

Several protesters, meanwhile, shifted to the Rohtak–Jhajjar road near the village and continued their protest. They also kept the body of a woman - who died in police firing on Sunday - in the middle of the road.
